So is there anyway to get the message's F, r, o, m, space ( this
according to "man 5 mbox" using Mail::Box?
I don't need it to do any replying but rather for some software that uses
it instead of the From: line. Several , what appears to be email-list
services , are sending from a different server/address than the From: line
says and this software I'm dealing with uses the "From _envsender_
_date_ moreinfo" line se I need to report that instead of the From: line.
A real example is Borders Bookstores. They send a newletter with a From:
like this "news@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" but the envelope has
"list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

I think that's where I found the "->set(from => 'user@xxxxxxxxxx')" method
-- using the html version of the docs :-). Seems if we can set it we
should be able to get it!
Here is an edited portion ( I'm caught by a NDS of who I'm working for
right now ) of the message to demostrate the situation therefore the "..."
stuff.
